Inspired by the castle in Leonardo's home town of Vinci, Castello Da Vinci is General Clark Braxton's private Napa Valley Estate and not a commercial winery. It is, however, a
labor of love for General Braxton and a major source of his enjoyment
following his retirement from the U.S. Army and his recent decision to
transition from the CEO position at Defense Therapeutics and assume the
ceremonial post of Chairman Emeritus of that company.

GREAT News for Xantaeus Lovers

Due to the many, many requests for wine from his private cellars, Gen. Braxton has arranged for one of
the world's finest family wineries, Cline Cellars,
to create and bottle a very special release of Xantaeus for the general
public. This exclusive vintage is now avaiilable for purchase.

General Braxton & Castello Da Vinci Featured In New Book

General Clark Braxton and his Napa Valley Estate are featured in a new thriller by author Lewis Perdue. The book, called Perfect Killer,
is a partly true, partly fictionalized account of a very serious issue
that will face the military in the coming years. General
Braxton's former colleague, Dr. Richard Gabriel (Col. USA, Ret.) offers
a very chilling account of this problem in a non-fiction Afterword to Perfect Killer.

Author Perdue has
taken many liberties with General Braxton to make an important point.
Despite these liberties, General Braxton fully supports the book,
even to the extent of sending bottles of Xantaeus to key people he
believes will help raise the book's serious issues. Read General Braxton's letter to wine giftees to learn more.
